I don't know where Koosharem is exactly, but Meags and I had a friend in Provo who's boyfriend was from there. What a fun 4th for you guys. I love the idea of the fourth in a small town. Kaysville is getting way too big. They had the road roped off so you couldn't get too close to the dangerously fast moving, jazz dancing, 6 and 7 year olds and speeding floats. It was retarded. Anyway, it also sounds like Kev's kind of rabbit hunting - you know, more like bludgeoning the little rascals.
We had a fun fourth too. I live for it. Kev was singing to Clo the night before "it's the most wonderful time of your mom's year!" in the tune of the Christmas song. It's true. I only wish I could've run in the 5k that morning and my day would've been complete. We went to the parade, Grandpa Rigby's for a cookout and homemade ice cream, swimming at Joanie's, then sat on Hatch's deck for the fireworks. It was great.
Mom was doing really good until yesterday. At about 11 last night Jess called and said they were taking mom back to the hospital. She was having pain in her chest and left arm and couldn't breathe. We were all freaked out for most of the night wondering what was wrong. They spent the whole bloomin night at the hospital and came home early this morning. They couldn't find anything wrong except for her leg is a little infected. We think it was just severe anxiety. In case you guys were wondering, that is something mom does really, really, REALLY well. Worry. She had been stressing about (the man's name I no longer say) house selling and probably just worked herself into a dither. So we've decided that no one gets to talk to her about anything. Short of someone dying, don't let mom in on it for the next 3 weeks. She just can't handle everything right now. Luckily, the therapist came today and said everything looks really good and she's going to have a perfect knee sooner than she thinks.
Meagie, I hope the baby is doing good. Chloe again today was making me reconsider naming this one Caboose. I don't know how you do it with 4 kids. I just have to keep reminding myself that I have no idea what it's like to be overwhelmed.
Lydie, I saw the pictures. Who is Barbie and Bambi hugging in the first picture of your favorites? Chloe was looking at them with me and kept saying Widdie, Pwease! In this whinny little voice, like, I'm saying please, can I have her? She misses you for sure.
Anywho that's it. Brooke my due date is August 2. My doctor said we'll start me at 39 weeks so I don't have another tanker like Whoskie, which is fine with me. The sooner the better. I keep hoping I'll go into labor any minute. I don't know what makes me think I'll be less tired after she's here, but at least my hips won't be on fire in the morning from having a million pounds on them all night. I hate sleeping on my side! Talk to you later, Leash
